She was an elected member of Montreal City Council from 2001 until 2013 and had served as councillor of Lachine from 1988 until its amalgamation with Montreal in 2001.[1] Her portfolio included social development, family, and senior citizens. As deputy mayor, she served as acting mayor of the city from November 5 to November 16, 2012 following the resignation of Gérald Tremblay, and again from June 18 to June 25, 2013 following the resignation of Michael Applebaum. BackgroundBorn in London, England, and Montreal resident since the age of five, Cowell-Poitras studied business at Concordia University. Prior to becoming a city councillor, Cowell-Poitras was president of NATA, a business that coordinated conferences and volunteering workshops in the community. Acting mayorFollowing the resignation of Gérald Tremblay on November 5, 2012, Cowell-Poitras assumed the office of acting Mayor of Montreal,[2] by virtue of holding the office of deputy mayor, a position which rotates among different councillors throughout a council term, at the time of Tremblay's resignation.[3] She was the first woman in the city's history to assume the office of mayor, having been preceded only by the ceremonial appointment of Lise Payette as honourary mayor of the city for one day in 1976 to mark the International Women's Year. She served until November 16, when council selected Michael Applebaum as the city's new interim mayor.[4] She again became acting mayor on June 18, 2013, when Applebaum resigned,[5] serving until the selection of Laurent Blanchard on June 25. She was a candidate for interim mayor in the council vote, but garnered just three votes to 30 for Blanchard and 28 for councillor Harout Chitilian.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=8117,89469578&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&id=83439654|title=Ville de Montréal — Arrondissement Lachine — Your elected officials|publisher=Ville de Montréal|accessdate=6 October 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.ledevoir.com/politique/montreal/363285/tremblay-abdique |title=Tremblay abdique|last=Myles|first=Brian|date=2012-11-06|work=Le Devoir|accessdate=6 November 2012}} 3. ^[https://montrealgazette.com/news/Mayoral+vacancy+will+short+lived/7502439/story.html "Mayoral vacancy will be short-lived"].
